Let us pray:

Let us pray for the OEF, for our healing, for our professed, novices, postulants and inquirers.

Let us pray for the servants of the Order especially our MG Sr Nancy and our MG Elect Br Craig Robert

Let us pray for our continued discernment, our on going formation, and our lives of conversion to our Savior Jesus Christ.

Let us pray for an increase of vocations to the religious life --especially to the Franciscan family world wide

Let us pray that we each are awake, and ready as we wait for the True Light that is coming into the world.

Let us pray for all peace makers and those who work for peace, justice and the intergrity of creation.

Amen

Amen!

I ask for prayers too for my coworker XiaoMin and her family; her father had a heart attack, and she is waiting anxiously for the paperwork and tickets to fly home to China to see him. I pray for an increase in compassionate porousness of the borders between nations. Between all beings, too.

Amen

Praying for XiaoMin and her family...please keep us posted.

Thank you guys so much! She's ok to leave early next week, which I know is an agonizingly long wait, but she seems optimistic. He's in the hospital and his condition is stable, there are some complications and cause for concern, I gather he's still undergoing testing. I think right now she's just so grateful that he's still alive and she's going to get to be there with her family soon.

May God give your friend, her father and her family peace. God give you peace... God give you peace... God give you peace...
